Leadership in sustainability
GCP works with key stakeholders to promote coffee sustainability and act for real change.
GCP works by a bottom-up approach, uniting both public and private sector actors to create a common vision on the most critical sustainability challenges at a producing country level and feeding these national priorities into a global agenda. The GCP then offers all coffee stakeholders, large and small, the opportunity to engage in this global agenda through Collective Action Initiatives. Addressing the most pressing challenges, these coordinated groups aim to improve the effectiveness of sustainability programs and contribute to greater impact on the livelihoods of coffee farming communities and the natural environment of coffee production areas around the world.
